Originally named in the Nobes testimonial lineup the player-manager of the O’s is otherwise engaged.

Orient lost 1-0 to Accrington Stanley yesterday and will face Hartlepool on Monday, meaning Nolan will miss Mark Noble’s testimonial at the Boleyn Ground

“I am devastated I am going to be missing that,” he says. “I am not going to be there for my mate, who has been a great servant to West Ham and is a fantastic player who should be in the England squad. I am Joe+Cole+Mark+Noble+QD3V2YxOjBVmgutted I won’t be there.

“But I am delighted to see West Ham doing well. Can they finish in the top four? Why not? I’d love them to win the FA Cup and finish fourth. If I had to choose, I’d love to see them win the Cup.”

Former Hammer Joe Cole is another of Noble’s mates will also miss the testimonial despite previously agreeing, he featured for Coventry City on Friday in a 3-1 loss over Peterborough when he scored and is set to play again on Tuesday when Coventry face Colchester in league one.

    If you didn’t realise Noble never got picked for England.If you are interested in conspiracy theories & ideas based on the xfiles for his being left out enjoy Wetpants.Yawn 😉

    Shame they will both miss it.I think it will be a fantastic day though Storm Katie might balls the celebrations up coupled with the transport issues.
    Billy I can’t wait for the international break to be over.I can’t tell you how tired I am of the Noble debate.

    Did they not revel in the Payet display for France and Descamps actually saying what a great display it was,and he is not injured RESULT
    Funny hoe Welbeck and Srurridge are fit one with the Europeans coming along,
    Vardy is not even worth a starting slot well done Woy,

  • Gobby says:

    If you are going on current form Welbeck & Sturbridge deserve the start over Vardy.If you look at the season as a whole then Vardy deserves to be in the team.I actually like Welbeck,always performs for England.Look at his goals to games ratio,it is excellent.

    But with only 60 days to go we can’t drop a player according to the intellectuals yet the same ones want players kicked out of our side after 10 mins or a pass that goes wrong because their a Minger FFS.

    Not too worried about Nolan tbh, but real shame cole will be missing. He has C&B blood running through his vein’s. Will still be a great day..

  • Boleyn Boy says:

    Nice comments from KN and heartfelt imo. Nice to see Joey net yesterday as well 🙂

    Would have been nice for the fans to say goodbye and thanks to Nolan as we never got the chance before he left for Orient.
